in Amtgard

Thax was introduced to Barad Duin in 1991 by Onyx Grymwulf after the Barad Duin split. He began playing Amtgard in the reign of Arioch in 1992, with this close friend Carnelian in the Barony of Tirana in South Austin.

Alternate, and more commonly used, name for Miawara Asahi, 9th monarch of the Celestial Kingdom. Miawara donned this new persona and a set of cat ears more in likeness to a bunny, and declared the CK the Celestial Empire. He introduced the kingdom heraldry that is in common use today. Thax did a lot of RP during his reign some of which was not well received by the general populous. As a result, Thax was the first Monarch of the CK to be passed over for knighthood.

"The decision to not knight Thax was entirely mine... Thax was a slacker king. When he stepped down, I bestowed upon him a pair of roses and a Lion for service. That recognized his overall committment (on paper) of time to the kingdom, and placed him a step or two forward toward actually earning a knighthood. He never chose to take another step." Thax "was simply not in a position where his 'vision' of Amtgard was on the same page as everyone else in some important areas. And his youth prevented him from being able to address the issues that arose in a mature manner that fixed things."- Sir Arion Reinquist

Thax's bold moves paid off for the Celestial Kingdom in many ways, By breaking into Roleplay he inspired many future leaders in the CK; Father Thomas, Zodiac Darkjester, Breetai, Colonel, and Linden. He is often referred to as the Bunny King preceding the second Bunny king Colonel by nearly twenty reigns.

In 1996 Thax had returned to his home and was elected Baron of Tirana. Two young boys, each under 14 who lived in the neighborhood asked to play. After consulting their parents, he approved of their participation as monarch as per Corpora law. Word passed to King Zephram who demanded that Tirana cease allowing the children to participate. Tirana refused. Kaderian entered a proposal into Althing to either 1:deny the children from participating or 2:break from Amtgard as a group. Tirana chose to stay with Amtgard and Thax left Tirana along with many of his company.
